a Cruel Prejudice Of Old Times
More Than Equaled Now.
Not many decades ago in this country,
the people were excited over witch
craft Persons suspected were thrown
into the water; if not witches, they
would drown; if they were witches
they would swim ashore, and would be
put to death! in any event, they We're
doomed!
Not many years agoifa person were
taken sick with advanced disorder OF
the kidneys, the physician would pro-
nounce the disease Bright's disease,
and when so declared, he regarded his
responsibility at an end, for medical
authority admitted that the disease
WAS incurable.
When the physician found patient
nnuS alHlctetV he would say,"Oh,
slight attack of the kidneys; will be
alright in little while" He knew to
the contrary. But if he could keep
his patient on his hands for Il few
months, he knew he could derive a
great revenue from his case, and then
when the disease had progressed to Il
cel tain stage, he would state the facts
and then retire, eXonerated from all
blame.
But the error Of supposing the dis
ease incurable has swayed the public
mind, long after the fact has ceased to
be. But public opinion has been edu-
Gated to the true status of the case by
those who have discounted the incura-
bility theory, and the public recogni-
zes and testifies to the fact that War
ner's safe cure is a specific for this dis
sease. This has been shown with
thousands of testimonials.
| Upon referring to them in our files
we find that $4,000 reward will be
given to any one who can prove that
Sc far as the manufacturers know they
are not genuine, and that hundreds OF
thousands similar in character could
be published, if it were necessary
This condition of things is very
amusing to the journalist, who looks
upon all sides of every question
Proof should be accepted by all, but
prejudice fights proof for many years
1t seems strange that VIE proprie
tary medicine is doiug the good thaI
Warmers safe cure j. that the phys
clans do not publicly indorse it
Many OF them, weare told, privately
prescribe it, as it is sold by dealers il

| A few years ago, as stated, when I
man had Bright's, disease, the doctol
boldly announced it, because h'
thought it relieved him of responsi
bility.
To-day when prominent people ar
dying (and hundreds of thousands o
common people die of the same dis
ease), we are told that doctors disguis
4 the fact that it is Brght's disease @
the kidneys and say that they die {
paralysis, 0. apoplexy, OF pneumonia
of consumption, Of general debility
Of rheumatism, Of heart disease, {
blood poisoning, or some other Of tn
names of the direct effects of kidne
{ disease. They are not the real diseas
r itsei..
T. We sometimes wonder ii they avoi
j stating the real cause of disease +,
: lear they will drive the public int
i patronage of the only scientific prol
t rietary specific for kidney diseases all
the thousand and one diseases that 0
iginate in inactive kidneys.
We do not believe every advertis
y ment we read. Some people perhal
II may regard this article as an adve
4 tisement and will not believe it, bu
we are candid enough to say that ii
parties above mentioned have state
a their case and proved it, and und
n such circumstances the public is u
% wise ii it is longer influenced by a
le verse prejudice,
